Demographic change intergenerational linkages and public education.
Abstract
In this brief paper I explore several issues related to [U.S.] demographic change and the political economy of public education.... I describe the existing empirical evidence that suggests that older and childless voters are less likely to support public-school spending than younger voters with children. I then note several unresolved issues about the degree to which rational self-interest should lead older voters to vote for low levels of public-school spending. (EXCERPT)
